The Jupiter Academy of Music holds a special place in our hearts. This is where Makayla spent several years learning piano under Ms. Sandra’s tender care and direction. Makayla simply loved music and couldn’t wait to get to her piano lessons to show Ms. Sandra all that she had accomplished during the week. Makayla was so proud of her trophies, stickers, and rewards. She was a budding musician and thrived in this loving and nurturing environment. This will forever be one of Makayla’s ”favorite places”.

The Esther Center dance school is near and dear to our family. Makayla spent several years here learning ballet under the loving guidance of Ms. Colleen and such wonderful teachers as Ms. Charlotte, Ms. Julie, and Ms. Peggy. The school provides performance opportunities through its own company, the Florida Classical Ballet Theatre. Makayla loved attending these ballets and dreamed of one day performing in “The Nutcracker”. This last Thanksgiving, Makayla’s wish came true when she auditioned and got the part of Mother Ginger’s Children. The Esther Center is committed to training students for the glory of God. This will forever be one of Makayla’s “favorite places”.

When we first visited Calvary Chapel Palm City, we knew instantly that it was "home" for us. Makayla loved going to church every Wednesday and Sunday. Our friends became like family to us, and Makayla loved her friends both young and old. We have many cherished memories of Makayla here as she worshiped God and studied His Word. Notably we treasure the time she accepted the Lord at the age of 4 and was later baptized. This was also the place where Makayla performed in the Christmas pageant and sang "Happy Birthday, Jesus". She learned many Bible verses at church and loved to sing worship songs and perform in the children's Christmas and Easter programs. Makayla even worked alongside her mother who, at one time, was the Children's Ministry Director. In fact, Makayla had a hand in many of the decorating touches inside the children's classrooms! She loved Calvary Chapel Palm City and all the people there. This will forever be one of Makayla's "favorite places."
